What you need to know
- A new unified Microsoft Teams app launched today for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Mac.
- The app supports personal, work, and education accounts that you can switch between easily.
- Previously, using Teams for personal and professional or education use required two separate applications.
As someone who has been juggling multiple versions of Microsoft Teams for personal and professional use, I can’t help but feel a sigh of relief as I write about the launch of the new unified app. For months, I’ve found myself in a digital circus, switching between ringmasters (or should I say account types) with nary a moment’s rest. The days of forgetting which icon corresponds to which Teams are now behind us, thanks to this long-awaited update.
At long last, after painstaking months of testing, I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of a streamlined Microsoft Teams app! Say goodbye to the baffling setup on PC that demanded juggling numerous applications if you were relying on this communication service for both personal and professional purposes. The new app offers seamless transitions between various account types, catering to your needs whether they’re personal, professional, or educational.
The latest version of the combined Microsoft Teams application is now compatible with Windows 11, Windows 10, and macOS operating systems. Within this software, you have the option to pick your desired Teams account for attending meetings or sign in as a guest. Moreover, during a meeting, you can opt for any of your accounts, not just your preferred one.
In March of this year, Microsoft introduced the combined Teams application. This new development is a refreshing shift from a confusing setup that’s used by hundreds of millions of people as their communication platform. Originally, Windows 11 featured a chat experience within the taskbar, driven by the personal version of Teams. However, Microsoft subsequently removed this chat experience, leaving two distinct Teams applications available: one for personal use and another for professional or educational purposes.
Navigating to the appropriate Team app turned out to be a more puzzling experience than anticipated, as the search could yield either variant. One possible workaround was to remember the unique symbols for each Team version, but it seems unnecessary to recall icons just to access the correct one.
In Windows 11 2024 Update (version 24H2), the integrated Microsoft Teams application will be included by default, but you don’t need to wait for it if you already have Microsoft Teams installed on your computer. If that’s the case, the app will update to the latest version automatically. You can also download the updated Teams app directly from Microsoft’s website.
In my latest article, I’ve added a survey about the communication applications you might be using in 2024. As I’m still tallying the results, I won’t disclose any specific numbers just yet, but Microsoft Teams is showing promising early leads. The poll allows you to select multiple apps from a provided list and then rank them according to your usage, providing a more detailed insight into which applications our readers are relying on.
